I think I have that Trademark of Quality bootleg though on tranparent blue vinyl. Was it just from Good lovin' to UJB ? I picked it up in a little record shop just off Carnaby Street that sold from under the counter.

my copy is:

Side 1
(I know it's side 1 'cos it's got a big "1" in the middle)
China Cat Sunflower
I Know You Rider
Casey Jones
Uncle John's Band
Side 2 (see above but "2")
Sugar Magnolia
Good Lovin' (in one big chunk inc. drums)

A bit hissy but great sounding, very electric and absolutely great playing. This coupled with 'Live/Dead' was the spark that lit my blue touchpaper.

Although I still have it on vinyl (kept in a special place) and a mate copied it onto CD for me (my fingers and thumbs are too fat for things like that), I tend to listen to the version on here now. Of course it is the full set, songs in a different order (the songs on the vinyl being moved around to fit the format restraints) and the recording is a lot cleaner, but you can still feel the energy (I think that's what they call it!). One person gave it a poor review claiming that they (the Dead!) would have hated it 'cos it contained too many errors and was sloppy but I can't agree with that and think it's great. If that's slop, give me more slop !!!!!!!
